Mandatory Fun 

Fun, Mandatory: When the 1sg or CO (or their spouses) decide that the company's spouses and children are going to have a day set aside for them to have a family oriented even, and you are "invited" (I.E. no choice). you may not leave until the day is over, even though you live in the barracks and have no dependents of your own.

Nah man, CO has us on a Mandatory Fun Day today at 7:00 am.

Mandatory Fun 

A social event put on by an organization having some form of authority over event attendees where those attendees are generally confronted with the dilemma of attending the social event or facing some generally undesired consequence.

A: "Sorry, but I can't go to the beach with you this weekend. My employer wants us to attend this team-building retreat. If I don't go to the retreat, I'm required to show-up at my workstation and perform my duties."
B: "Oh, so they want you to have some mandatory fun, huh? It's okay!"

Mandatory fun 

When you are forced to have "fun" by (most likely) someone with higher power than you or your coworker. Most of the time when this happens, it is (un)surprisingly, not very fun. For a good example, watch the video, "Management has Allowed a Pizza Party for 2 Million Subscribers" on Youtube from Pointcrow.

1: Sorry I can't come over this weekend, my boss is making us have Mandatory fun.
2: Same, it sucks.

I would love to talk more Mom, but mandatory fun is going to start at the ATS in ten minutes. This week, the theme is "Nintendo."

Manditory Fun Day

1. When your boss or CO (commanding officer in military terms) makes it a requirement to show up to a pick-nic, BBQ, or some other stupid crap in order to build "team spirit" or "esprit de corp."

2. Your boss has no friends of his/her own, and decides that all of his/her subordinates should show up to one of his/her lame functions.
3. The Colonel or Sergeant Major have no friends and everyone hates them. Therefore, their subordinates are required to put on their 'Class A' or 'Dress Blue' uniforms and listen to some old guys make drunken, teary-eyed toasts to their first pair of jump boots.

Platoon Sergeant: "Tomorrow is the brigade ball. Everyone is required to attend.

Private: "Is this one of those MANDITORY FUN DAY's, Sergeant?
